Supporting material

Classroom, Virtual, Private

Classroom

Face to face, interactive classroom training run from our global training centres.

Virtual Classroom

A convenient and interactive learning experience, that enables you to attend on of our courses from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can log on. We offer Virtual Classroom on selected live classroom courses where this will appear as an option under the location drop down if available. These can also be booked as Private Virtual Classrooms for exclusive business sessions.

Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

Jellyfish has been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this two-day Anthos course. Our trainers work with the GCP on a daily basis and as a Google Cloud Partner you can benefit from the years of industry experience they’ll share with you.

Through presentations, and hands-on labs, participants explore and deploy using Kubernetes Engine (GKE), GKE Connect, Istio service mesh and Anthos Config Management capabilities that enable operators to work with modern applications even when split among multiple clusters hosted by multiple providers, or on-premises.

This is a continuation of Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine and assumes hands-on experience with the technologies covered in that course.

This Architecting Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure with Anthos course is available at our training facility in San Francisco and will run over two consecutive days. We also offer private training at a location of your choice or via Virtual Classroom.

Course overview

Who should attend:

This course is intended for the following participants:

Technical employees using GCP, including customer companies, partners and system integrators: deployment engineers, cloud architects, cloud administrators, system engineers, and SysOps/DevOps engineers.
Individuals using GCP to create, integrate, or modernize solutions using secure, scalable microservices architectures in hybrid environments.

Walk away with the ability to:

Deploy Istio service mesh control-plane and proxies using the Helm Kubernetes package manager or using the Istio on GKE add-on
Centrally observe, discover, and monitor your microservices-based applications across clusters using Istio service mesh adapters, including Prometheus, Grafana, or Kiali, or Stackdriver
Define and manage multi-cluster services, with ingress, using open-source Istio via shared and multi-control plane topologies
Connect and manage on-premises clusters, and workloads using GKE On-Prem
Enable consistent policy enforcement across multi-cluster environments using a configuration-as-code approach and your secure Git repository

Prerequisites

To get the most of out of this course, you should have:

Completed Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure or have equivalent experience
Completed Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine or have equivalent experience
